The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze becomes the first in this series to earn a 4.0 rating from Ben Meyers International Movie Critics. Under the direction of Director Charles Grosvenor, the series has consistently raised its entertainment value. It’s truly wonderful to see this series progress and raise itself from barely a child’s watch to something that can be a child/adult share. This series is a good academic study on the value of well-chosen directors. The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze earns its watch.

Yes. This is the best in the Land Before Time series to date.

Director Charles Grosvenor has significantly improved the series of stories. The music, the animation, the voicing, the storyline work seamlessly to provide good entertainment.
